This Summer, The Sarong Skirt Is Going Beyond the Beach and Into The City

There's great comfort in nostalgia, and gentle retro trends have been doing the rounds in fashion of late. When Fendi announced The Baguette Walk, a short video series created for the launch of the Baguette 1997, it almost felt like the natural course of things. The iconic bag that has been part of many iconic fashion moments in pop culture, has now been revamped for the Fendi Summer 2021 Capsule.

The launch video series has been exclusively shot in Paris and stars French actor Ana Girardot, joined by her tribe of girlfriends—Spanish creative Maria Bernad, Chinese model and painter Nini Li-Yun Hu, and model Fatdwa Diawara—all enjoying a day out together with their Baguette 1997. The videos artfully reflects the spirit of the bag and captures the ’90s vibe as the girls are snapped frolicking around Parisian streets, and striding along the zebra crossings of the rues.

The Baguette 1997 marries old-world regalia and charm to modern design vocabulary, playing with the original silhouette featuring slim slides and an adjustable and flappable handle. The archive re-editions feature the FF Vertigo pattern—a distorted and magnetic variant of the Maison’s monogram—realised in collaboration with New York-based visual artist Sarah Coleman. The patterns, in playful yellow or blue variations, pop up on a timeless tobacco jacquard fabric, as well as on canvas punctuated by the archival flower embroideries.

FASHION

While summer is usually awash with mood-boosting hues and prints that evoke optimism, we’re placing our bets on a monochrome timeless classic that sparks equal amounts of joy—the LBD. Universally flattering and adored through the ages, the wardrobe staple has been revitalised on the spring/summer 2021 runways, with interesting strap detailing and clever cut-outs in a mix of knits as well as light, sheer and silky fabrics. The new little (or long) black dress is slinky, clings to the body and is sultry—just like the weather.

After a year of slouchy sweatpants and pyjamas, it’s hard not to see the appeal of a figure-hugging dress. The black summer dress serves as the perfect post-lockdown outfit: not too OTT yet super stylish and sophisticated, it makes one feel just the right amount of dressed up without any real effort. So whether you’re heading out for a casual get-together with friends, a cute date, or just strolling about town making the best of your new-found freedom, let the thread-like straps, alluring necklines and strategic cut-outs highlight your best features and do the talking.

As our social lives commence once again, take cues from these celebrities who seem to be embodying the summer mood via slinky LBDs. Hailey Bieber was seen test-driving the look in a highslit Saint Laurent number on the eve of her birthday last year, complementing her dress with mini gold hoop earrings and a chic low bun. Out and about in LA, Kendall Jenner was spotted in a classic slip dress and chunky boots combo, finishing her look with a matching silk mask and the it-bag of the season. And Victoria Beckham channelled Posh Spice in a sophisticated black jersey dress from her eponymous label.

While you soak in all the celebrity inspiration you need, we’ve rounded up the best black dresses to zero in on this season. If you’re all about turning heads, Bella Hadid-approved Nensi Dojaka’s avantgarde sheer and strappy numbers will be your go-to. The Serita knit dress by Cult Gaia makes for a great casual day-to-night option, while Christopher Kane’s backless linen dress is perfect for a summer soirée. Whatever the occasion, pair your black summer dress with sneakers or towering heels to suit the mood you’re in.

Kate Middleton Wore Almost an Exact Replica of Princess Diana’s All-Blue ’90s Power Suit

Kate Middleton just channeled Princess Diana in the most touching way.

On May 24, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge—who are referred to as the Earl and Countess of Strathearn while in Scotland—continued their tour of the country with a visit to Turning Point Scotland’s center in Coatbridge. Middleton looked stunning in an all-blue ensemble: a double-breasted Zara blazer with a perfectly matched pleated skirt by the U.K. brand Hope, per People.

However, the duchess didn't look just beautiful; she looked familiar. On September 9, 1992, Princess Diana wore practically the exact same outfit. Albeit with a more modern silhouette, Middleton's monochrome look also featured gold buttons and a pleated skirt that lands below the knee. The only difference we could spot was that Middleton swapped out blue heels for nude pumps and added a COVID-19-friendly face mask. Take a look: While Kate Middleton has often worn looks matching or inspired by her mother-in-law—we even have an entire gallery of them—this reference was particularly touching, given her husband's recent speech at the Church of Scotland.

On May 22, Prince William opened up about his mother's death during a moving address about his connection to the country. “Scotland is the source of some of my happiest memories. But also my saddest,” Prince William said, according to Entertainment Tonight. “I was at Balmoral [Castle] when I was told my mother had died. Still in shock, I found sanctuary in the service at Crathie Kirk that very morning. And in the dark days of grief that followed, I found comfort and solace in the Scottish outdoors. As a result, the connection I feel to Scotland will forever run deep.”

But Scotland is also where Prince William met his wife at St. Andrews, where they both attended college. “And yet alongside this painful memory is one of great joy. Because it was here in Scotland—20 years ago this year—that I first met Catherine,” he said. “Needless to say, the town where you meet your future wife holds a very special place in your heart.

George, Charlotte, and Louis already know how dear Scotland is to both of us, and they are starting to build their own happy memories here too. We have no doubt they will grow up sharing our love and connection to Scotland from the Highlands to the Central Belt, from the Islands to the Borders.”

Architects plan world's second-tallest tower in Russia

ARCHITECTURE

A Scottish architecture firm has released plans for the second-tallest skyscraper in the world to be built in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The Lakhta Center II will stand at 703 meters (2,306 feet), while the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, measures 828 meters (2,717 feet), according to a press release from architects Kettle Collective.

However, the planned skyscraper will house the highest occupied floor and viewing gallery in the world at 590 meters (1,936 feet).

By way of comparison, the current second-tallest building is the Shanghai Tower, at 632 meters (2,073 feet). The Shard in London measures 310 meters (1,017 feet).

The Lakhta Center II will stand on the outskirts of St. Petersburg next to the original Lakhta Center, which is the tallest building in Europe at 462 meters (1,516 feet) tall and houses the headquarters of energy company Gazprom.

Tony Kettle is design lead on the project, and also designed the Lakhta Center during his time at architectural firm RMJM. "The new Lakhta Center will be a template of sustainable design for global high-rise projects," said Kettle in the press release.

"It will have the best in class low energy design and a mix of uses that will create a vertical atrium space with a vibrant centre as the heart for this new business district."

The Lakhta Center II will feature office space, accommodation and relaxation spaces over 150 floors.

"The design is both aesthetic and functional as it will reduce considerable wind forces that will impact the structure, in turn reducing the size of structural elements required within the building," added Kettle.

"This is a hugely significant partnership for our studio and has come at a time of considerable global challenge, not just for Kettle Collective but for our industry as we navigate the impact of the pandemic," said Kettle's managing director Colin Bone.

The original Lakhta Center was St. Petersburg's first "supertall" building (one measuring 300 meters or above).

The structure is now the northernmost skyscraper in the world, according to its developers.

The 87-story tower twists a full 90 degrees from its foundation to its top, like a winding needle. This makes it one of the world's tallest examples of a "twisted" skyscraper design.

4 Ways Your Fitness Routine Could Be Improving Your Mental Health

WELLNESS

Most people hit the gym or get on the mat to improve cardiovascular health, build muscle and bolster their metabolism, but working out has mental health benefits too. Exercise decreases sensitivity to the body's reaction to anxiety and can alleviate some symptoms of depression, like fatigue, tension and anger—even if you're just going for a long walk or getting in a quick HIIT session. Studies have proved that people who exercise regularly have better professional and personal relationships and find it easier to bounce back after hardships. We spoke to three fitness experts—Luke Coutinho, holistic lifestyle coach, integrative and lifestyle medicine; Shayamal Vallabhjee, high-performance coach, psychologist and sports scientist; Karan Sawhney, professional footballer and co-founder at The Tribe India—about the mental health benefits of exercise, and how you can imbibe them now.

It releases endorphins "When we exercise, we release neurotransmitters called endorphins in our brain, which are "feelgood" hormones. It's what runners experience after a good run—the runners high," says Coutinho.

These endorphins interact with the receptors in your brain that reduce your perception of pain and are natural mood elevators.

Exercise boosts cognitive performance “A regular exercise routine also promotes the growth of new neurons and neural connections, thereby boosting brain function and memory,” confirms Coutinho. Working out boosts chemicals in the brain that prevent the breakdown of the hippocampus, which is the part of the brain associated with memory and learning. It also acts directly on reducing insulin resistance and inflammation, along with encouraging the production of growth factors, which can improve the growth of new blood vessels, and thus brain cells in the brain.

Working out can help manage anxiety Getting moving is a great way to blow off some steam and vent emotions such as anger and anxiety.

“Exercise stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system and vagus nerve, which brings the body to a state of rest and recovery,” says Vallabhjee. Exercising is a great way to distract you from the thoughts you're freaking out about, and moving your body decreases muscle tension in the process.

Plus, getting your heart rate up increases the production of anti-anxiety neurochemicals like serotonin and endocannabinoids. "Exercise also becomes a way to replace old habit patterns with new ones. Engaging in exercise is a great coping mechanism and a healthy distraction from an addiction, for example. It can also make withdrawal symptoms less severe. Physical exercise is an important part of rehabilitation centres for addicts for this very reason," states Coutinho.

It improves your ability to be creative Experts recommend a 20-minute walk or a short run to get those ideas coming. "Running, for example, releases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which helps create new synaptic pathways, which is an essential element for creativity," says Vallabhjee. “When you exercise, your mind gets the space to think in a wider perspective and you can evaluate ways to solve problems better. You can tackle issues when you think this way," says Sawhney.

Melissa Barrera, Clinique’s New Global Ambassador, Is Just Getting Started

“It is kinda crazy that I’m the first, I hadn’t even thought about it that way,” Melissa Barrera admits when I point out how monumental it is that she’s Clinique’s first Global Brand Ambassador to hail from either of the Americas. (Barrera joins London-born Emilia Clarke, who was announced as a global ambassador last year.) She’s surrounded by Clinique’s VR logo background on a Zoom setup in Los Angeles—the city she’ll call home for a few more days until she moves to Austin to be closer to family in Monterrey, Mexico. Soon, she'll drive to Venice for her first photoshoot with the brand, a social announcement ahead of the official campaign this fall. “It makes me feel good that little Latinas are going to be able to see me and think that they can also be the face of a brand globally, I feel like that means a lot,” says Barrera. “I’ve always dreamed of having a campaign like this, and I never saw anyone that looked like me, or that had a name that sounded like mine, or that I knew was a Latina.”

For the past decade, Barrera has hopped back and forth between Mexico and America. After growing up in Monterrey, she studied in New York at Tisch School of the Arts, then returned to Mexico to star in telenovela Siempre tuya Acapulco. It was back to the U.S. to film the TV drama series Vida, and later to star as Vanessa in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s screen adaptation of the musical In the Heights (not to mention the titular character in Carmen). Barrera is still in I’ll-believe-it-when-I-see-it mode when she imagines being on a Tribeca red carpet for In The Heights next week for the film’s premiere in advance of its June 11 release. “I think it’s a movie that is going to move a lot of people, is going to mean a lot, especially to the Latinx community,” she says. “I can feel all the opportunities that are happening for our community, and me being able to do this with Clinique feels like a big step—not just for me, for everyone.”

The beauty brand appreciates the work Barrera has put in to get her to this point. “We want people with substance to represent Clinique, more than just pretty faces and talking heads,” says Elizabeth Nolan, Clinique’s Global Creative Director. “We knew immediately that Melissa’s energy and passion are inextricable from what makes her so beautiful and are excited to bring our products to life in a new way with her bold voice.” Barrera plans to use that unique voice for greater connection. “I want to be able to speak to all of these people in Latin America in Spanish,” she says. “Our community has all felt, whether it’s conscious or unconscious, kind of erased from the world for a long time. Kind of forgotten or unimportant—and it’s our time.” Pantomiming the size of this moment, her floaty white sleeves reach to her short, pale green nails—the color of the iconic packaging she now represents.

Barrera recalls her mom doing her makeup for childhood dance recitals with a compact in the same shade. Those early moments preparing for an audience were wrapped up with her introduction to the brand. Today, she’s exactly where she hoped to be. “All the things that I’m living right now are the things that I’ve always wanted to be able to do,” says Barrera. “I also feel like I’ve worked my butt off to be here.”

When I ask if she feels like a magnet centered in a spiral of opportunities, Barrera admits to believing in the law of attraction. “I do believe in thinking and willing things into existence, obviously putting in the work for it,” she says. “Even though it’s ten years in, I don’t feel like I'm in the middle of anything, I weirdly feel like I'm literally just starting my life.”
